Product Description

The Exedy BRG601 clutch release bearing is an OEM-quality throw-out bearing designed for use in compatible manual-transmission vehicles from Subaru and Mitsubishi, and select related models. This release bearing engages the clutch diaphragm spring when the clutch pedal is pressed, allowing smooth disengagement and helping ensure reliable operation as part of the clutch system. It serves as a direct replacement for the original bearing supplied in many Exedy clutch kits or factory clutch assemblies.

Fitment covers a wide range of vehicles including WRX, WRX STI, Forester, Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, Lancer, and Saab 9-2X where manual transmissions are specified. Precision machining and high-quality construction help improve durability and reduce unwanted noises and vibration during pedal action. Because the release bearing plays a critical role in clutch performance, replacing it whenever the clutch assembly is serviced helps maintain smooth clutch operation and prolongs the life of other drivetrain components.
